Much like a politician burying their past, I threw out all my old "cringe tapes" and with good reason. The most horrid of the lot dated from 1982 or so when I and my vocalist and bassplayer were hideously drunk, irked that  the drummer had missed a recording session to spend time with his girlfriend, and in a fit of Frank Zappa inspired drunken wrath proceeded to castigate the poor sod in what inevitably became known as the "Zappa-esque Drunk Tape."  90 minutes of vodka fueled angst that could ruin a carreer if ever discovered...

Vodka and music and angst all at the same time are dangerous, and should not mix.

Me and four friends had a straight forward metal band called Spirit, back when I was 16. We thought we were good, but when I listen to our demo now, I understand how bad we wore.

The demo containd 5 songs, two of witch was iron maiden covers. It was called Writings in the wall, and I played the guitar. You can hear me pretending to be Van Halen now and then.... The day I recorded bring Your Daughter was the first time I had ever used Floyd rose, and it shines through.

Så enjoy.....

It is said to be the first Test-pressing of the corean release??

I just posted 2 tracks from that old tape I mentioned earlier

 

Go here http://theowlwatches.dmusic.com and look under the "FLASHBACKS" section for a couple of "Red Tape" tracks ("Shanghaied In Nebraska" and "Shave The Snails")

Bah, what's up with these links? I've updated them but you just have to cut and paste or go to the actual page itself.

Thanks, Owl!

I was beginning to think that "Virus" had put everyone off... I think my style is very different to Jay's, and yes, it is supposed to be funny - I think you're the first person to get that on first listen!

I was into Lawnmower Death at the time...

This 'ere's called "Josh the Mosh" why? Because that's what it's called  I wrote it - but that was before I went to college - so that's my excuse...

Click the Mosh Pit to get the track - within 7 days of the date of this post.

Beware of the bass solo...

For the record, Jay does lead guitars and vox, Tim (aged 16) does rhythm, and Rob (aged 17) beats the skins.

No more until I hear some of my fellow members old tapes...

ROTFLMAO!!!! Classic, and I DID like the bass segment in the mid-section!

I just dug up and posted a couple old tracks of mine dating back to 1991 or so, "Upstairs" and "Commerciality At Last!", found here: http://theowlwatches.dmusic.com

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh the power of a 4-track!

They're not old, but they're not exactly new either. My recorded collection consists basically of people messing around in a living room with a microphone in the middle of everyone, and the odd naff cover. Oh, and several songs taking the piss out of various things which I doubt anyone will find at all amusing . The band I'm in at present got a live recording done last Saturday which I haven't heard yet - if that's any good I'll put a couple of tracks up (not the ones I kept cocking up on ).

Fresh tapes would do also. I don't have any, I only play organ, no need to record that, and I think it would be inapropriate to issue that on this forum

We don't want your organ on this forum

 

...seriously though - why not? If you write and play stuff, why not embarass yourself here?

I've just dug out a tape from 1986 of a band I was in that played a kind of "FM Rock". The band was called "Under The Influence". Interestingly, the initials U.T.I. also stand for Urinary Tract Infection...

Now that's embarrassing

I honestly can't hear anything bad about the bass part - it's no Watchtower bassline by any stretch of the imagination but it doesn't sound out of place or anything. The sound's not terrible for a thrash demo, either, although the cymbal sounds at the beginning are a bit naff. Six months ago when I was more into oldschool thrash than recently I'd probably have dug this.

 

edit: nice vocals about two minutes in - "YEURGH!"

Cert,

 

Didn't Dream Theater covered this song?

 

The bass sucks, but the guitar isn't half bad indeed.
